This week I'm meeting with a lunch group who invited me to talk about "frugalness." So I've drafted this questionnaire of Markers You Will Find Along the Road to Financial Freedom.
It's funny how you (well, me, that is) can be so inspired to take steps for good changes in your own life, when your initial plan was to teach what you know to others.
